But let us not forget that “stealing” or “borrowing” an idea doesn’t give you ownership of that idea; and this is the point - the great concept that deserves to win; is not their “creation” it is their “adaptation”. Creativity awards merit work based on the originality of the idea and the quality of its execution.

Is it to charge the “same client” twice for the “same concept”? Or is it because by using the “original concept” they would have been deprived from entering the Dubai Lynx? Is the purpose of the Dubai Lynx to award creativity from the MENA region? Or to award adaptations executed by the MENA region?!! If Dubai Lynx is awarding creativity then the award should go to Saatchi & Saatchi Russia…But they are not in the MENA region. If Dubai Lynx is awarding mere adaptations of creative concepts then it should not be called a creativity award anymore. Creative directors nowadays know the rules and regulations so well that they have devised ways to get around them while still looking legitimate. i.e. Tiba frog, PETA and others ;) Yes it is because it is the “same agency” and the “same client” that made me question why they did not use the original artwork created in Russia?
